It seems that the Twitter population is growing everyday. What is so intriging about twitter? I mean, when I first created one it almost seemed like Facebook status updates. However as time went by I realized that its a great tool used to keep up with people. I sign on just to see if people have posted interesting links to blog posts, articles, or videos.
Think 10 years back. We had email and probably nothing close to Myspace and Facebook. There were minor social networking sites created before the Myspace era. Around 2003 a few of my classmates were on hi5. Some networking site that I began using too. I didn’t get into Myspace until a year and a half after it’s creation. And when I did, eventually it became addicting. Thankfully Facebook doesn’t do the whole your own template thing and whatnot that keep so many addicted.
Social networking and texting has given us the ability to communicate with others without talking. Email usage has decreased, amongst the younger generation at least because of tools like Facebook messages and whatnot. I personally have email set up on my phone however I bearly use it.
As far as Twitter, one aspect that might attract people to the site is the ability to keep up with celebraties, known authors, and people that are good role models in general.
I don’t think Twitter is addicting, maybe. I’m not addicted as of yet I think. Note: I’m not sure. It’s just a good resource I use to keep up with people, news, videos, lectures, and whatnot. Just useful stuff in general…
